Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf became a bit of a phenomenon over the course of last season. The wideout from Ole Miss took the league by storm in his second season by registering over 1,300 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns.

Enough to earn him a Pro Bowl call-up, Metcalf is now viewed as the Seahawks’ key aerial target for the years to come. What sets the wide receiver apart from his competition is his freakish body frame.

While Metcalf did finish last in his heat, he put up a more than respectable attempt. Running the 100-yard-dash with a time of 10.37, the wide receiver won the respect of fans across the globe. 

With his track and field days now behind him, Metcalf looks to dabble in another sport. But this time, for the sake of charity.
